Not really. However I hate Musk (trust me I do), Tesla still makes cars, SpaceX still launches satellites, and Starlink still provides internet. These things benefit society. However Bezos treats his employees, Amazon sells and delivers goods, runs twitch, makes TV shows, … These are benefits to society that Musk and Bezos helped with. Does it make it ok to mistreat workers? Absolutely not. Does it make it ok to evade/“optimize” taxes? Absolutely not. Capitalism NEEDS TO BE REGULATED. We have seen unregulated capitalism fail just as hard as pure communism. But that does not mean that they deserve nothing. That they can’t have villas and sports cars for helping create these companies that benefit others.
Why are Musk or Bezos needed for any of those things? How did they help in specific? Did they design the cars or the rockets? Did they create the products on Amazon or the algorithms?
If they are not needed, then go do it. Surely you can make a cheaper and better versions of Amazon and Tesla without paying billions to people like Musk and Bezos… Or maybe you can make something entirely new.
Again, because it doesn’t seem to be clear to you yet, just because I personally cannot start a rival to Amazon or Tesla does not mean that they are necessary.
It literally does. If I can do something and in the same environment, you can’t, something about me is necessary. Sure, maybe I am not the only one in the world who can do it, but I obviously contribute.

“You can’t do what they did, therefore no one can” is spurious reasoning.
But you are now admitting they did something you can’t do. Surely you can do it, if they did nothing.
Ear wigglers also do something I can’t do. That doesn’t mean they’re a benefit to society.
Well, if what they can do is not necessary, go make the bloody company? Are you a goldfish unable to remember more then one reply back?
